Hi. So I require a bit of help from the pros as I am not very good with this stuff, however I do have a basic understanding of computers and I can follow direction.
Here is my first world problem. I am running 3 tvs on my gtx970 card, all thorough display ports. All three tvs have a native display of 1920x1080. With tvs 1080 seems fine for gaming and video but not so much for desktop stuff and programs.
I can bring the display resolutions down to my desired 1680x1050 for each tv manually through the control panel but when I try to turn on surround (physx) it only wants to do 5760x1080 no option for anything else. I would like to get 5040x1050 if possible, that way I can just leave surround on.
What really sucks is that once I am done my games, I need to turn surround off but the control panel forgets everything about my previous 1680x1050 settings so I have to setup all my displays again.
Any good advice or solution would be appreciated.... Thanks in advance

To get the resolution you want you may need to go to the advanced options and set a custom resolution. Keep in mind that does not always work well, and you may end up with a blank image with an "unsupported resolution" or another similar message.

Hi thanks for your help... What I mean is at 1080 movie quality is ok and I can play games as well but its all a little too pixelated. When I am working on a word document or browsing the web for instance, its just seems hard on the eyes compared to 1050 which just seems to show a lot better. I would imagine that this caused by the fact that these are tvs and not monitors. I hope that helps with the explanation.
